Wrestling Fans React to Mariah May’s WWE Debut originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Well, that didn’t take long. Just days after AEW removed her from the roster page and multiple outlets reported her departure from the company, Mariah May made her debut on NXT.
The 26-year-old immediately becomes the top contender for the “developmental” brand’s women’s world title, with an eventual fast track to the main roster remaining a strong possibility. The blue-chip prospect likely will be the focus of Tuesdays for the foreseeable future, and fans are now chiming in on May officially jumping ship and her stunning appearance.

The reason why R Truth and Carlito got fired 😥😥😥😩
— Mario Salazar (@SuperStarcomedy) June 4, 2025
There’s a notion that to make room for May’s signing, the company had to axe R-Truth and Carlito to shed salary.
I didn’t even know Mariah May was Australian???

Many WWE fans are just now experiencing May for the first time and learning about her accent.
May had arguably the greatest women’s program and match in AEW’s brief history. Her work with Toni Storm is generational, and established her ability as a performer and prowess in the ring.
She should have a championship in no time, and this has the makings of being a monumental acquisition for a promotion desperately needing more high-end depth.
